Son, “Mom” Will Back You

The easygoing Jiang Xiaoqing was the one responsible for the communication of the team. Gu Nian, who was in la la land 6.5 days out of 7 and Qin Yuanyuan who had difficulty socializing were obvious not the best candidates in dealing with production teams or investors.

When it came to the actual negotiation and drafting of contracts, Qin Yuanyuan, who was detail-oriented and minored in law, would take over.

The three-person team had been working together for 1.5 years and never ran into any issues. Gu Nian trusted Qin Yuanyuan\'s negotiation a lot and never asked any questions.

After returning from Daoci Temple, the three of them pulled an all-nighter in combing through the new script and the character settings, preparing for the "interview" set for the next day.

Their meeting was set for 10 AM.

After an all-nighter, Gu Nian\'s biological clock that she had just set right, woke her up at 8 AM. Gu Nian, who was severely deprived of sleep, floated into the dining area after she had washed up, put her head down while seated on the barstool, and yawned as she put her head down sideway on her arm.

Through the dark marble, Qin Yuanyuan, who was also in charge of backend work, was frying eggs in a skillet. Jiang Xiaoqing, too, was standing next to her. Mainly responsible for adding to the chaos.

"You keep messing with me, I am going to feed you burnt food," threatened Qin Yuanyuan.

"No, don\'t do that. Burnt food can cause cancer. Our routines are already bad enough. Let\'s preserve some chances for ourselves in other areas."

Jiang Xiaoqing playfully tossed the eggshells into the trash can and saw that Gu Nian had already collapsed on the table like some mollusks when she looked up.

Jiang Xiaoqing, too, put her head down on the countertop and said, "Aye, Guru Gu Nian, what are you all deflated again? Are you part balloon?"

"……"

Gu Nian lifted her brow a little and said nothing.

Qin Yuanyuan finished up the last bit of eggs and bacons and put the white porcelain plate in front of Jiang Xiaoqing. "Aye, don\'t disturb Gu Nian right now. She is charging up right now. If you drain all her charges right now, who is going to talk about the story arc and character settings when we get to the meeting with the investor?"

Jiang Xiaoqing stuck her tongue out. "Welp. I can always do some pole dancing."

"Hahahaha. Stop it already. We are a serious screenwriter team. Don\'t tarnish our reputation."

"……"

With the exception of the serious, "Thank you for cooking" before she started eating, Gu Nian had not said another word all the way until they got into the taxi.

The taxi pulled up in front of a building.

Gu Nian got out of the car, turned, and froze on the spot.

She looked at the somewhat familiar front of the building and slowly lifted her head.

Displaying in the front of the building were the characters "Dingke Media".

"Why you stopped there?" Jiang Xiaoqing, blocked behind Gu Nian, looked up blankly.

Gu Nian didn\'t move and her voice was dull, "…… What are we doing at Dingke Media?"

Jiang Xiaoqing scratched her head. "This is the address provided to Yuanyuan from the investor."

Qin Yuanyuan had just now gotten out from the passenger seat. She walked around the car and stood next to the other two girls. "What are you guys looking at?"

Jiang Xiaoqing, "Gu Nian asked what we are doing here."

"Oh, it seems the new investor that the producer had secured recently is Dingke Media. What\'s the matter?" Qin Yuanyuan observed Gu Nian\'s look carefully. "Gu Nian, this company and you……"

"It\'s nothing."

Gu Nian recollected herself, turned, and smiled at the two of them. "Perhaps I just didn\'t feel well because this building is so tall. Let\'s go."

"Well, of course. Dingke Media had been the bigshot of the entertainment circle for a while now," said Jiang Xiaoqing. "Any scripts that they picked up must get a lot of promotion…… Hey, come to think about it, Luo Xiu is one of their actors too, right?"

"Mmm."
